A note from Barbara Sandford’s daughter, Sarah Sandford-Miller
————-
Dear Family friends and neighbors:
This is to let you know that Mom has moved up here to Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. She died on September 2, 2013 in her home on Lake Wentworth, snug in her bed, sleeping peacefully.
Mom had enjoyed a fantastic summer this year which included her Granddaughter Emily’s marriage to David Aslanian on July 28th. This happy event brought together so many far-flung family members and friends that she was able to visit with 99% of her family. During the summer months, she helped get us ready for the wedding, rocked on the porch, snuggled with Great –Grandchildren and ate lots of corn ( hot and leftover), lobster and green chocolate chip mint ice cream, her favorites. She napped a lot and then decided it was time to go, so she simply shut down.
On September 21st, at 2:00, we are planning a reception at her home in Wolfeboro for those friends who wish to visit and share memories. On Saturday, November 9th to celebrate her 95th birthday (November 14th) at 1:00 there will be a memorial service in Plainfield, New Jersey at Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church, followed by a reception in the Guild Room. Out-of-town guests are invited to her home at 1275 Denmark Road again to visit and remember.
